with some vigor, and mole varieties are now
daily being added to the list. MeSsnaS and
Valencias have advanced soc per box. Riv-

mand. Cheese is steady. Onions are firm.
The last years stock of apples is approaching
its end and they are accordingly very firm

seems to be approachingits end. The supply
and demand are both light Eggs are weaker.

A Tiny Greek Island.

This primitive pastoral life (of the
Greek peasant) may be studied in the
archipelago in either of two ways-by
visiting the tiny islets inhabited only by
one or two families of shepherds, whose
intercourse with the outer world for gen.
erations has been exceedingly limited,
or by penetrating into the mountain viii
lagos of some of the larger islands.
In my wanderings have visited sew
eral of these tiny islets, but of all these
none to my mind offered such a complete
picture of patrarchal life as did low,
black islet some twenty miles off the
coast of Asia Minor rejoicing in the name
inhabited only by one family, at the
head of which is very aged patriarch
indeed, called George, who rules over
twenty-five subjects-that is to say, his
wife, six sons, seven daughters, and the
families of three married sons and ono
married daughter. Only one daughter
is married, it must be noticed the other
six, by custom existing in these remote
corners of the world, are doomed to
single blessedness, for here the ma
triarchal system is still in existence-the
dest daughter inherts all, while the
sons and younger daughters have to look
aiteT themselves. Consequently, hus-
band was easily found for old Georges
eldest daughter from the neighboring
island Of Patmos, who was content to
leave his home with a view to succeed
ing his father-in-law on Donkey's Island.
The family here have everything in com
mon; on feast days they all eat together.
Day after day the women sit together at
their work, sorting grain on low tables,
or plying their distaffs, while the men
tend the five hundred goats which form
old Georges dock or till the soil, which
produces just enough grain and just
enough of everything for the wants of
the Enthusiastically EeDiew.

A PASSAGE.


The world was made when a man was born;
He must taste for himself the forbidden
springs;
He can never take warning from old-fash'
ioned things;
he must fight as boy, he must drink as
youth,
He must kiss, he must love. he must swear to
the truth
or the friend of his soul, he must laugh to
scorn
The hint Of deceit in a woman's eyes
That are clear as the wells of Paradise.
And SO be goes on till the world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart
has grown cold,
Till the smile leaves his mouth, and the ring
leaves his laugh,
And he shirks the bright headache you ask
him to quaff;
He grows formal with men, and with women
polite,
And distrustful of both when they're out of
his sight;
Then he eats for his palate, and drinks for
his head,
And loves for his pleasure-and it's time he
was dead.
John Boyle O'ReiUv.

Chinese Ancestral Tablets.

The believer in Confucianism has
many curious ideas. In almost any
Chinese residence will be found an an
cestral tablet, and sometimes these OF
DETERMINATIONS are offered for sale in the
shops of the city. The tablet is known
as the Shin Chu, or home of the spirit ;
and, as a rule, is made of wood, about
foot in height and three inches wide
generally some fragrant wood is en-
ployed, and owing to the rich ornameta.
ton in the way of carving, the tablet is
made up of three pieces-a solid pedestal

Disappearance Of Poplar.

Poplar, one of the desirable Southern
woods, has already reached that point of
limit in supply where large consumers are
looking around for a substitute. Some
of the 81. Louis char manufacturers are
now giving the cottonwood trial in the
manufacture of chairs, and they are so
well pleased that they will be likely in
the future TO use more of it than of the
costly ma erial whose place place it
takes. 1t requires very close examina,
tion TO distinguish certain varieties of
cottonwood from poplar. The difference
in cost between the former wood and
poplar is bound TO bring it into market
in general competition with the latter

Fishing with BOTTLES.

Why, they know of no other way to
fish up at Lake Villa, near the Wiscon-
sin line. I'll ellyou how it's done. The
natives up there buy bottle of whisky
and drink the contents. Then they put
the cork back in the bottle, fasten about
five feet of line around the neck, and
bait the hook with a minnow. When
they reach deep water they throw the
bottle away from the boat and wait for
results. OF course the bottle is as buoy
ant as cork, and the action of the
waves has the elect of keeping the bait
in constant state of agitation. BY and
by Brer Pickerel comes along and snaps
at the Oscillating minnow. The hook
catches him before he knows it, and then
the bottle begins to scoot under water or
scud along on the surface. The natives
in the boat may be playing seven-up or
hisky poker, but the minute the bottle
begins to skip they drop everything and
begin to pull out for the flask as though
a sea serpent was after them. When the
bottle is captured and the big squirming
picksrel removed from the line, the hook
is rebaited and the tackle thrown over
board again. OhicagO Herald.
